PM Says Superbond Talks Shaping Up
posted (December 13, 2016)
And finally, one last bit of information from the Prime Minister. Today after the press conference he discussed the schedule for Superbond talks. These are ongoing but coming to a head because the government is shortly expected to outline its proposal to bondholders. He gave the media a loose schedule of what is ahead:

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"So far we've set out the broad contours. We know basically what we are talking about, what's in issue. But the devil is always in the details and those details won't be discussed until the next meeting which we are hoping to have before the end of year. In early next year we expect a follow on meeting from the end of year meeting and there is where I think we are going to hopefully be coming close to a solution that will see a successful restructuring."

And finally, before we leave tonight one correction: we said the Calypso Rose album had been certified gold and was expected to go platinum. And that is correct, but we erred when we said that Gold refers to 500 thousand records sold, and platinum a million. Indeed that is the US standard, but in France, a gold record means 50 THOUSAND copies sold and PLATINUM means one hundred thousand.
